The scarlet macaw (Ara macao) is a large, red, yellow and blue South American parrot, a member of a large group of Neotropical parrots called macaws. It is native to humid evergreen forests of tropical South America. Range extends from extreme south-eastern Mexico to Amazonian Peru,Colombia, Bolivia, Venezuela and Brazil in lowlands up to 500 m (1,640 ft) (at least formerly) up to 1,000 m (3,281 ft). It has suffered from local extinction through habitat destruction and capture for the parrot trade, but locally it remains fairly common. Formerly it ranged north to southern Tamaulipas. It can still be found on the island of Coiba. It is the national bird of Honduras. Source wikipedia

Ciao Muhammad, great portrait of lovely parrot, fantastic colors, splendid sharpness and fine details, very well done my friend, ciao Silvio

Hello Muhammad Shaukat,
A wonderful close-up shot of this beautiful Macaw. The contrasting colors of these large birds is simply amazing to view. Sharply focused and displaying good facial detail. Nice eye contact and perfectly exposed. Well done!!
I had a chance to see some of these gorgeous birds while visiting Costa Rica a few years ago. I took a few shots but they were a little to far away and and wouldn't give me a clear view.
